Air Conditioners Prices Are Increasing: Here’s Why

The increasing cost of raw materials, global freight, and commodities have forced consumer durable companies to increase the prices of their ACs. In fact, several reports claim that the companies have already increased prices by three to four percent in April.

“We increased the prices by 5-6 percent in the last 4-5 months. With rising global freight, cost of commodities, and raw materials, we might have to consider a price hike again after May,” Satish NS, President, Haier Appliances India was quoted by FE.com.

Meanwhile, Financial Express reported that several companies have already increased their prices and others might increase their price in the coming months.

Demand For Air Conditioners

It is important to note that even though prices have been increased, the demand for air conditioners has not been decreased due to the early summer and rising temperature in April.

“Also, there is a big surge for a replacement since a lot of consumers are upgrading their cooling products for more energy efficiency,” Voltas spokesperson was quoted by FE. Adding that the industry will grow this year in terms of both value and volume.
